Salmond addresses rally to mark referendum anniversary

Former First Minister Alex Salmond has addressed a rally in Glasgow held by the grassroots campaign Hope Over Fear, almost ten years on from the independence referendum.

Salmond, who now leads the Alba party, said Scotland had to take the step towards independence.

He said there had been 10 years of mandates since 2014, and the "zombie parliament" at Holyrood had "done nothing".

On 18 September 2014, 55% voted No in response to the question: "Should Scotland be an independent country?".

The following day, Salmond announced he would stand down as first minster and SNP leader.

Speaking at an event in George Square on Saturday, the former MP and MSP criticised the soaring energy bills families faced, despite Scotland's oil and gas resources.
